Behaviours related to fair play, respect for others and rules, conveyed through coaches' example are important, at a time when young people are his own identity, tending to identify with figures such as coaches and where the maxim "does what I say and not what I do" does not work. The objective of the study was to identify the importance that coaches attribute to values and attitudes in sport, and to study the association between the trainer's biographical characteristics and the relevance of these values and attitudes in sport and competition. A total of 30 volleyball coaches (21 men and 9 women) were interviewed, with a mean age of 39.23 ± 10.57 years. To collect information on the selection criteria, we used the survey adapted from Cardoso, (2007). The study project was approved by the scientific committee of the Department of Physical Education and Sport and ethics committee of the State University of Amazonas. For the analysis of the data, mean and standard deviation statistics were used. In the normality of the variables, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and the association between variables was the Chi-square test for qualitative variables and Spearman correlations in quantitative variables. T-Student was used to determine differences between groups in variables with normal distribution. Most of the Amazon coaches attach significant importance to all factors related to values and attitudes in sport and competition among young children.engAttitudesValuesFormationCoachesCompetition.Faculdade de Ciências Sociaisconference paper10.14198/jhse.2019.14.proc4.82
